Looking for new Skimmer, need help

[Jason McK]

I'm way over due for a new skimmer. I'm currently using a DIY Beckett that is way under size for my tank.

I have a 370G SPS tank. I'm looking for a external/in-sump
I currently like:
EuroReef RC500
H&S A200-3XF2001
BubbleMaster 250
Deltec AP702

I'm currently leaning toward the EuroReef. But all the chatter on the BM has me intrigued. But I have also read that sump water level is critical to the BM function.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jason

You may also want to add the DAS Ex-3 to your list.

What about the GEO models, I know someone that has a big GEO about 4' or so he just broke his tank down, but it worked awsome!!

they currently have discontinued making skimmers

No one wants to comment on the Skimmers I have listed.

I have used the EuroReef model you have listed and it works well, as i am sure you knew that and thats why its on the list.
there are a few things that i dont like about them, but nothing major.
the air line holders are a joke
and the older seadrea? pumps where crap, but they new Eheim pumps work great. the only issue like i said, with the ER is the pumps failing.

But I think they may have fixed it.

If I were choosing from the skimmers you have listed and all are in your price range I would take the H&S A200-3XF2001. However the H&S A200-2X1260 is an even better choice with the eheim pumps instead of the aquabees and is still cheaper than the Deltec AP702.

I would choose the ER RC500. Its a monster skimmer. 12" body, 3x Eheim pumps. Great value in a big skimmer.

The ER RC-500 really is a monster and the Eheims that it uses are great pumps. You could also check out H&S's version, they are more expensive but the build is very good and they have excellent customer service.
